Something I found on my HD - The Great War Novel
I accidentally came across this document of mine while browsing my files. It is a damn old unfinished novel which I started for fun. Because of its age, it is relatively primitive. I decided to post this to see if you like it.

Please do not make hostile comments especially for grammar and spelling(this writing is at least 2 years old).

What makes you think what inspired me to post this?
Just kidding.
It is a coincidence I found this while your thread was still alive.

I think it's great, grammer and story wise.
But since it's a novel. IMO, make the story based around manty different points of view in the war, and make way more dramatic fight scenes EX. just because the Vasudans were easy in-game, doesn't mean you can't juice it up alot. ;)

Trust me...

Are you serious?
I admit I have not yet planned the chain of events yet. I think I will finish it.

novel? a helpful suggestion..

for substance, probably base around a number of characters - 10 maybe - no main character. Completely seperate from each other of course, perhaps some come across each other into the same situation at points. EG a gunner on the galatea and a couple of fighter pilots buzzing around. Maybe go against reader expectations and kill off a couple of main characters in dire situation (galatea gunner perhaps, or some fighters). Should give you enough to write about anyway....

Of course, (it needs help), but it's how I wanted my grammer to come out...  And I like the story, but if it's a Novel, then make multiple main characters, to see greater detail main events of the story and just how they actually did it.  Make a small of a ground soldier taking a planet in Operation Thresher.  Stick to Canon to stuff your not sure about, don't get too farfetched...  :)
